So 18 months in prison for the following union busting activities (among others): * gathering personal information on some union members, such as their marital status, personal finances, and mental-health histories. * threatening to cut the wages of employees linked to unions * withdraw business from subcontractors who appeared union-friendly * clos[ed] sub-contracted firms with active unions * used "sensitive information about union members to convince them to leave"

With a list of offences that long, the sentence does seem to sit on the side of leniency. A 1.5 year sentence probably means that with some good behavior, the sentence will have be served in less than a year.

  I don’t think the list is that long. The main charge must be he forgot to share some profits with the right people in the government.
